Version: 2002-08-01
Severity: wishlist
I would like to add a sentence on what is charset support
to cvs/webwml/international/l10n/index.wml, because I think
charset support should be more stressed because (1) it is
the basis of all other i18n/l10n and (2) people tend to
forget laugages (which require special handlings) which are
very different from their own.
The following is the patch. Any comments?
(I have a cvs commit permission. Can I do when discussion
is finished?)

Currently there are only potato and slink banners at
http://www.debian.org/banners and the following note:
"If you know of more banner ads for Debian, please let us know."
- It would be helpful if you explain who exactly "us" is - I hope
debian-www <at> lists.debian.org is right (please cc me on replies).
- I found several woody banners at
http://www.debianplanet.org/node.php?id=724

No, thanks. I've changed the text like this:
<p>Note: There are currently no official net install/mini-CD
images available.</p>
<p>The network install assumes that you have a connection to the
Internet either using analogue PPP dial-up or using an ethernet
connection. This may be through a PCMCIA adapter on laptops.
Internal (PCI) ISDN cards are not supported - sorry!</p>
<p>The following unofficial net install images are available:</p>
This is basically what you proposed, I just replaced "ISP connection"
with "internet connection".
Cheers,

I've just noticed two things in regards to the 31 July Japanese commit of
this file, 1) some languages not mentioned elsewhere in the file are now
available in Japanese, 2) a comma was missing after one of those languages
(Belarusian).
I've added the missing comma but have no idea whether that will fix the
problem. Also, it seems that the web site isn't building anymore, some
changes I committed 19 hours ago haven't made it to the main site yet.
